Families participate in a Multi-Disciplinary Evaluation to determine eligibility. Children will be evaluated in five core areas: cognition, communication, social-emotional, physical, and adaptive skills.
Children with certain diagnosis are automatically eligible.
A Service Coordinator assists the family throughout the process.
Services available in Columbia County include speech therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and special education.
